Pilkington, the brand that makes Honda oem glass, was around $570 installed. It’s noticeably thicker than the oem R glass, which may be heavier and affect track time? But the quality is good. No distortion either.
Last glass we replaced with a Pilkington. It’s lasted twice as long (so far) as all the other windshields combined. It’s had a couple of similar ‘minor’ stone chips as what did in the OEMs. It’s still going strong.
Some Outback owners are already on their 3rd or 4th windshield in 2 years. So far the only solution is to demand a non OEM third party window replacement. Owners who can convince the insurance to use Pilkington glass for a replacement are having far less issues.
My model 3 took some serious hits from rocks with no crack.
For me it is incredibly durable. There are hundred of chips on my Model 3 windshield with 53k miles due to freeway driving most of the time, but it is still not cracked yet.
Pilkington was a good 3rd party option that i ended up with and has held up very very well.
Got a rock chip 13 days into my MYLR7 ownership which developed into a 20" crack right across the driver's side. Had it replaced next day at the Service Center for my $100 deductible. Great deal I thought... Until I picked up the car and heard wind noise throughout the driver's side. They had to put in another windshield.
I would rather buy the original BMW/Pilkington windshield from the junkyard and get it installed than get one replacement Chinese sh*t from insurance coverage. Replacements are not as thick, they are wavy and yep in general - crap.
Mine was less than 4 months old when it developed a craxk starting at the bottom and worked its way up. Not sure why tesla windshields are so easy to crack.
The Glass on Tesla vehicles is INSANELY prone to chips and cracks. I’m on my third windshield MYLR
